Full Job Description
THE JOB

We're looking for someone who thinks like an attacker and builds like an engineer-and who's genuinely excited about securing AI. At VEG, we find a way to say YES to adopting AI fast, and this role is what makes that safe. As our AI Security Engineer, you'll be the technical owner of AI security across the company: assessing the AI tools and agents we adopt, hardening the AI we build into our own systems, and defending against AI-enabled threats. You'll turn our AI governance framework into real, working controls-so teams can innovate instead of wait. This is a rare chance to shape a discipline from the ground up, spanning offensive testing, detection, and secure design in one seat, at the frontier of both security and veterinary emergency medicine. If you're curious about a fast-moving field and want to build something that matters, we want you on our team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • Assess AI tools, models, agents, and integrations before adoption-analyzing data flows, connector and plugin risk, and testing for prompt injection and data leakage.
  • Implement and operate security controls on approved AI platforms: access management, data loss prevention, logging, and usage monitoring.
  • Partner with Engineering to design AI features securely from the start.
  • Build and maintain AI security standards, threat models, and incident response playbooks.
  • Enforce our AI risk tiers and keep an inventory of AI usage across the company.
  • Advise teams on secure, practical ways to adopt AI.


WHAT YOU NEED
  • 2+ years in security engineering-application, cloud, or a related area (or equivalent experience).
  • Hands-on experience securing or building AI/LLM-based systems, and familiarity with their failure modes.
  • Understanding of the LLM attack surface-prompt injection, data exfiltration, and agent or tool misuse.
  • Comfort with AI platforms and APIs (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI), SaaS security tooling, and identity providers like Okta.
  • Strong threat-modeling skills and the ability to explain AI risk to engineers and non-technical stakeholders alike.


WHO YOU ARE
  • Empathetic, instinctively taking a people-centric approach, whether supporting your colleagues or making an effort to understand different perspectives
  • Have a sense of humility; acknowledging mistakes, sharing credit with others, and lifting up your team's' accomplishments
  • Feel a strong sense of ownership over your work, taking responsibility for outcomes and staying committed to achieving long-term, impactful results
  • Curious by nature; you ask insightful questions and continuously seek out opportunities to learn and grow your skills and knowledge


HOW WE INVEST IN YOU
  • Competitive Compensation Including $120,000 - $150,000 + bonus + benefits.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits that start on day one, and access to free therapy or counseling
  • Paid parental leave, up to 12 weeks at 100% of regular salary, and offering inclusive fertility and family-building care for all types of families
  • Unlimited PTO to use for vacation or sick days-however you need it!
  • Generous employee referral program, so our awesome people can bring in more awesome people.
  • And the little (big) things, like casual office attire, ability to bring your fur baby to work, cool VEG swag, food in the fridge for when you're hungry and free lunches twice a week!!
  • Company laptop and a monthly cell phone reimbursement
